An Experience

Last night I was dragged along to a Spanish Film Festive with a friend to see the movie: They are all Dead.
Not only was the movie enjoyable but I was able to sit in on a Q&A with the films star, Elena Anaya.
Here are some of the things discussed that I thought could be helpful for me in the future:

– when asked if the year the film was set in was chosen for a particular reason “every story is different, it depends on the moment and for [They are all Dead] that moment was right.

– one first time directors and actors they are so pure and have been waiting for so long, theres something so genuine about that

– the house (where the movie was mostly set) it’s self was another character, if you’re going to have a busy set: everything tells. – know your set, know when you have to take away, when something is going to distract from the scene rather than enhance it.

– “when it’s real it’s easier, it helps so much when it happens” – don’t skimp on authenticity because everything it ties everything together for a more genuine movie.

– “we went through things over and over, but everyone thanked her [the director] for making them work so hard” -it’s good to know what you want and don’t ever slack off.
